"What's your opinion about child harnesses?"
"What's your opinion about child harnesses?"This is a subject that was up for discussion on babycenter.com recently. It was absolutely startling to see how many people think that they are "barbaric", "like treating your child like an animal", and (my favorite) "you need to learn how to be a better parent". Personally, I want to meet these people and find out exactly how good of a parent they are when they are six months pregnant trying to hold the hand of a two year old, who typically gets to leave the house twice a week, in the middle of a department store where you are simply trying to walk down the aisle to leave and he is wrenching at his hand attempting to dislodge it from your grasp thus causing you to squeeze tighter onto said hand then realizing you may be squeezing to tightly and you relax your grasp just enough for the child to dart off and you waddle along after him with your sciatica acting up horribly trying to catch up with him only to repeat the process at least forteen times bfore finally making it the final six feet to the door. Heh, how good of a parent can anyone be when humans don't have that part of their brain developed fully until age twenty five? And honestly, children are animals period.

I don't know that I have a real opinion on them. I did buy one once, last year before we went to CA, in case I needed it in the airport (where I was with a 2yr old and a 3 yr old.) didn't end up needing it there or at disney world. I would have used the thing though. little ppl can be insane and sometimes need to be restrained. if the choice is harness or lose your kid in an overcrowded place, my choice is going to be harness...
